Back In Time For Dinner has taken a culinary trawl through five decades of food (Picture: BBC)

Having taken us through the country’s eating habits of the past few decades, Back In Time For Dinner had a whole other surprise in store for viewers as the series reached its end.

Tuesday night’s show not only took a look back at the Robshaw family’s eating experiment – which has enthralled viewers in recent weeks – but also attempted to convince us that the food of the future could well lie in the insect world.

All of which meant treating the clan to one final feast involving a whole heap of invertebrate treats.

First of all we saw this delicious treat being cooked up. No, we don’t know what it is either but there’s a whiff of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! about it:

The Robshaws were then treated to a feast which kicked off with cricket tacos:

Asian worm stir-fry was also on the menu:

While these buffalo worm tarts didn’t put us off our dinner at all (well maybe just a tad):

Oh, and how about a cricket kebab?

Still hungry? Well then for the main course here’s a beef and insect protein burger…

And to round things off, how about a cookie? They’re made with insect flour, you know.

While the family gamely tucked in, they didn’t seem overly convinced by the idea of an all-insect diet, with Brandon commenting: ‘I don’t think you’d ever think you’d be coming home from work and think “ooh, we’ve got centipede tonight”.’
